It was not jest Justine.

Justine was managing his diet at some point, she could influence his mood by choosing the right girls. Being fed upon by the white court is addictive.  We hé attraction to Thomas is not natural. The lust is artificial forced upon the victim and that is rape.

I did mention those girls. Assuming the girls don't know about the addiction and Justine brings the same girls repeatedly, that doesn't take away from my point that Justine isn't subject to the addiction because she has True Love protection and I seriously doubt the svartalves are subject to Thomas's wamp mind control. Thomas has repeatedly proved that wamps don't have to rape to feed.

You said they "have to" rape. The best you can do is make some assumptions about how Justine manages Thomas's feedings and conclude based on those assumptions that Thomas does rape. That he can feed without raping anyone proves that wamps don't have to rape.

If wamps were real, would I be in favor of exterminating them? Probably because the good ones, i.e. the Raiths, are mind bending immortal rapists. My point is just that they don't have to be.

Arjan:
I don’t think he can help it, the feeding is addictive. The attraction felt by his victims is like a drug. That makes it rape in my book. Not as bad as most Raiths I know but even the mildest form has problems.

Remember that Thomas isn't going out on the street to whammy some unsuspecting, non-consenting woman. (Or let his Hunger whammy them for him, like he used to.)

Justine is going out and finding a woman who is willing (or perhaps eager) to come home to have sex with her and her smoking-hot boyfriend. (Perhaps she showed them pictures?) No mind-whammy involved. Willing consent.

And it doesn't seem like they are taking repeat customers, so there's no addiction issues.

What more would you like to see Thomas and Justine doing, to be certain that the women really do consent?

The svartalves *are* repeat customers, but they also know exactly what they're getting into, and Evanna doesn't appear to be at all under Thomas's sway, given the events of Peace Talks.
